Overview
The DL560 Gen11 delivers four-socket compute in a 2U chassis configured with two NVIDIA L40S accelerators for inference, visualization, and VDI density. Each system is built to specification, burn-in tested, and shipped with HPE warranty sourced through authorized distribution.
Who This Solution Is For
Business Benefits
High density per U
Four sockets and two GPUs in 2U maximize compute per rack unit for space-limited facilities.
Versatile acceleration
L40S GPUs handle inference, rendering, and graphics-rich virtual desktops on one platform.
Consolidation economics
More cores and memory per node reduce the server count needed to host mixed virtualized workloads.
Typical Business Use Cases
AI inference and model serving
VDI and graphics virtualization
Rendering and media transcoding
Dense virtualization hosts
Industry Applications
Technical Overview
The DL560 Gen11 packs four 4th/5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and 64 DDR5 DIMM slots into a 2U chassis with up to six single-wide or two double-wide GPUs. Two NVIDIA L40S accelerators occupy the supported PCIe Gen5 slots, with iLO 6 delivering secure remote management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many GPUs fit in the DL560 Gen11?
The 2U platform supports up to six single-wide or two double-wide accelerators; this build uses two double-wide L40S cards within HPE's validated configuration.
Is the L40S a good fit for inference and VDI?
Yes — the L40S balances FP8/INT8 inference throughput with strong graphics performance, making it well suited to model serving and high-density virtual desktops.
Why four sockets instead of two for this role?
Four sockets provide additional cores and memory channels to host more virtual machines or inference replicas per node, improving consolidation ratios.
